""Alien 5"" Topic

"In the case of Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5, I turn you now to Regina George: "Stop trying to make Alien happen. It's not going to happen." But, seriously, it probably won't.

Yes, Blomkamp released unofficial concept art for a Ripley return over Instagram in 2015. Yes, he released more imagery last year teasing the return of Newt. Yes, Sigourney Weaver herself can't stop talking about it — she said the story "forks" from the canon of the original films and gives Ripley an "ending," she spoke about it during an Alien Day anniversary celebration, and divulged Ridley Scott said Blomkamp could move forward after the sequel to Prometheus…."

After 3 and 4, I'm not sure I would want to see a 5.

There are already plans for "Great-Great-Great Grandson of Alien" in the works.

4 wasn't horrible. There are things to like about 3. But both were disappointing to fans for not giving us the story we wanted. This would be interesting. It's too bad Prometheus was such a terrible movie.
